[IDEA] Headless mode - how to run XBMC in a Raspberry Pi but output display in a laptop

[mixpc]

Hello,

Thank you for your kind and informativ replies, indeed. I'll respons in chronological reverse order so I agree with IriDium: it's not a problem but more of an idea, a path to explore.

@rikardo1979, yes, you're truly right. I could just go on and have the Windows XBMC port installed in whatever laptop. And that would be ok, but my contention was to display Xbian capabilities regardless of a display set. I can think of many different cases where no TV set is available for Xbian to prove its power. For such cases I have opened this thread. In my case, no HDMI or RCA cable availability plus a no TV set setting made me think about having Xbian displayed on a desktop or laptop. That simple.

@mk01, your reply is truly informative. Thank you again. I'm updating to 1.0beta2 this week. I'm going to use the backup add-on to backup all my current settings and already installed add-ons and then move on to update to beta2. I'll keep you updated.

You're a great team, great support. My congratulations to you!
